RIP, iPad 3

LOL 😁 Too funny. Shall we all try again? 😝

Daniel....dont be surprised if you have a flamming bag on your porch tonight.....jeezeeeeeeeee 🙂

Don't worry Daniel, I hear he's using the Apple Maps app, so most likely he'll never find where you live 😁

Can Apple kindly tell the developers to fully optimize games for 3rd gen iPad? We have tested Smurfs life (not yet available worlwide) and Captain America on both 3rd and 4th gen iPads, but the games don't fare well on the former device. Captain America particularly shows misaligned main and level menus, Smurf life on the other hand is sketchy. 4th gen iPad has no issue running these games at all.

Probably something you should reach out to the developers and tell them yourself.

at last, I managed to get rid off my ipad 3, byb bye Ipad.

time to see if the competitor are more serious, ipad price just increased by 4 %, what a bargain and what a margin !!!

I went to my local shop today, and they still sell the ipad 3 as the new ipad.

They pretend there are no 4rd ipad, what a shame.

People spend 500 euros and they don't know there ipad3 is already outdated !

shame on you.

Wow, how disingenuous.

Since Apple has no control over what retailers do, maybe you should whine about that on the RETAILERS website instead of here. As you say, shame on you.

Glad you sold your iPad. Bye.

Apple's behavior does not remain forgiven by loyal customers.

First time in last 10 years Apple declares a decline in quarterly profit.

Capitalisation of the company has decreased by 28%, to $483 billions.

And shares of the company fell from $700 to $ 500 per share.

Sales of iPhone and iPad has significantly decreased compared to the last year.

So, this is the proper answer from the customers. How it tastes, ha?

exactly my thought and what I wrote at the beginning of the post, It was time to sell Apple stock options.

Dark knight rising for Apple, sorry has risen ...

All stocks have fallen. In case you didn't know the economy is not that great.

Great.

Bye. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Apple's shares have dropped from an astronomically high price to a merely stratospheric high price, but sales (and profits) remain extremely high. And yet they had the fourth most profitable quarter ever reported by a company. This is hardly a case of customers fleeing from iOS device, but a market calming down to a more normal level after a period of insane growth. As more people have iPads and iPhones, less new ones are going to be sold, so of course sales will go down.

Note really. Since end of Oct12, the Dow and Nasdaq are up 5%, Apple is down 25%.

I do not know where you get your financial information, but Apple just posted both a record year and record quarter in a market and tech sector that has been in free fall for years.

Apple iPad and iPhone sales were up drastically from last year.

Apple sold 22 million iPads in just the final quarter of the year!

Motorola Mobilty just took a major financial lambasting.

RIM is all, but gone still spiraling in the drain of death.

Google and Apple are still in litigation and Android, lately, has been taking a serious beating.

All the other smartphone and tablet makers are waaaay back in the also-rans category.

Samsuck may, finally, have a winner with their brand new Galaxy Tablet offering, but it still won't beat out iPad.

Apple stock is manipulated by Wall Street, stock shorts traders, ANAL-its and generally business and banks who never can seem to figure out Apple, and idiots who pay too much attention to unsubstantiated rumor.

Apple doesn't care about market share because Apple is about making PROFITS!

Apple is not having trouble making profits as their substantial cash war chest can attest.
